Prosser, WA

May 16, 2014
A nice drive of about ninety miles to Wine Country RV in Prosser this morning. Gail's sister Joanie and her friend Kathy drove over from Bellingham to join us for some wining (sic). When they arrived we drove to a few wineries for tasting and then back to the park for cocktails and out to dinner. Joanie and Kathy were pretty tired from their drive over so after dinner they went to their motel to rest up for a full day on Saturday. Gail and I sat out by the fire til about 10.

The girls came by our site at about 10:30 and it was off to more wineries. It was a beautiful day in the low 80's with a nice breeze. We don't usually travel to the area on weekends so were surprised at how busy the wineries were. At some we walked in and then left because they were so busy. We had a nice lunch at a local brew pub to break up the day. We went to a cool shop that was called a mercantile but was basically a kind of antique/flea market place. Then it was back to the RV park for dinner. We fixed mustard coriander marinated pork tender loins, mashed sweet potatoes and pea salad for dinner. Then our guests went to their motel and we sat by the fire. This is the life.

After breakfast Joanie and Kathy came by to say good bye as they had to go home. We had a wonderful time showing them around Prosser and sharing our experience in wine country. Gail and I went to a neat little gift shop and a few more tasting rooms, did some laundry and just enjoyed our last day in Prosser. It was a blustery day with clouds and even a little rain during the day but turned out to be a pretty nice evening. Tomorrow we are off to Chelan for 4 nights.
